Films & Events

The Palace is delighted to present a season of films accompanied by introductions, fixed ticket prices of £6/£8 all shows and a season loyalty card available from the cinema (buy tickets for 5 films, get the 6^th and 7^th for free). The season also launches Dementia-Friendly Palace screenings at the Palace including snacks, intros and reminiscence sessions.

As part of our “Nobody’s perfect!” Billy Wilder season, we are very pleased to present six free dementia friendly screenings for people living with dementia and their carers.

NOBODY'S PERFECT SEASON: Two jazz musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) are witness to a mob hit. To save their lives, they disguise themselves as women in an all-girl band, featuring one Sugar ‘Kane’ Kowalczyk (Marilyn Monroe at the height of her bombshell powers), and head to sunny Florida.

A witty, pacy and engaging dramatisation of the early years of famed American chef and author Anthony Bourdain as he earns his stripes in the some of the world's toughest kitchens - adapted from Bourdain's 2000 memoir Kitchen Confidential.

The Palace is delighted to be taking part in Heritage Open Days for the 8th year, opening the doors for free anyone who'd like to have a quick look inside or join us for a free illustrated talk!

To break his writer's block, a filmmaker desperately mines inspiration from his closest relationships - but at what cost to his friendships in this latest rich offering from Spanish giant of cinema, Pedro Almodóvar (All About My Mother, Pain & Glory).

NOBODY'S PERFECT SEASON: Billy Wilder’s beloved romcom, with Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine finding love amid corporate New York’s sea of sexual deception.

Fresh from its award-winning appearances at Sundance and the Edinburgh Film Festivals comes this warm and witty comedy of oddballs refusing to leave their harsh isolated life on a remote Scottish island. Think Local Hero and The Banshees of Inisherin!

NOBODY'S PERFECT SEASON: Billy Wilder’s cunning masterpiece, adapted from James M. Cain’s then-notorious pulp novel by Wilder and Raymond Chandler, and the very definition of hard boiled with Barbara Stanwyck as perhaps the greatest femme fatale in all cinema.

While we wait for our regular pianist Lillian Henley to return from her summer break, we're delighted to be showing the restored full cut of Fritz Lang's iconic 1926 silent classic Metropolis with a pre-recorded symphonic score.

NOBODY'S PERFECT SEASON: When a trip to Paris transforms Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) into a beautiful and elegant young woman, she soon has workaholic Humphrey Bogart and carefree playboy William Holden competing for her attention in this spry romantic comedy classic.

We're delighted to host Analogue Ensemble, who for 15 years have run a programme of artists’ experimental film and expanded cinema in Thanet, inviting local, national and international artist filmmakers to present their work live and engage in post screening discussion with the audience.
